7 turnovers by the bench...maybe shouldn’t have benched Cam Payne. I’d rather see him in the 2nd half back at backup pg.

The jumper Ayton is taking today I am ok with. It’s a 12 footer and he’s solid at it. Would love him to sometimes attack off the dribble in that scenario though.

I’m not worried. Timberwolves are awful and missing key players. They’ve lost 7 in a row and 11 of 12. I hope we come out strong and put them away quickly and keep them away...but honestly this is a game we can play like crap for 3 quarters and just turn it on for the 4th and put them away. That’s a terrible habit to get into, so I really hope we don’t see that, but we won’t lose this game.
I’m sorry I said this...but we just need to turn it on for 10 minutes and the game is ours...let’s see if we wake up

Jae Crowder just needs to sub himself out the rest of the night. He’s been embarrassing

Phoenix needs some kind of rim protection off the bench ASAP. Dario even without a bad wheel isn’t altering any shots

Surprised he’s still in there...he hasn’t done anything positive and at least 6 or 7 negative things...just not his night.

I don’t think Dario touched the ball, but I’m glad they didn’t overturn...obvious foul on Saric

Nice non-call on Booker's layup at the end of the quarter. :shock: :? :o :x

Book's got the eye of the tiger tonight. Just need someone else to step up and hit some shots. DA's been solid, Paul may be hitting the wall. I also wish we could find more shots for Mikal.

Not sure the motivation to leave a roster spot open with Dario hobbled and Stix no where near ready to play an NBA game

I’d put Booker back in right now and close the door on this game over the next 4-5 minutes.
